Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved process for pyridine base synthesis, and to specified zinc containing zeolite based catalysts for use in the same.
  • Nitrogen-containing compounds are used as structural components of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to their high biological activity.
  • pyridine bases are produced in by far the largest quantity and are used in various applications such herbicides, insecticides, pharmaceuticals and adhesives.

  • the process generally involves reacting aldehydes and/or ketones with ammonia in the gas phase using a heterogeneous catalyst either in a fixed bed or fluidized bed reactor at temperatures ranging from about 400°C to about 450°C.
  • the reaction generates coke and the catalyst has to be regenerated with air.
  • the use of a fluidized bed provides a useful continuous regeneration system.
  • Catalysts used in pyridine base synthesis reactions have varied from alumina either alone or as a support, to amorphous silica alumina (see e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,272,825; 3,946,020; and 4,089,863) and/or metal substituted silica alumina (see e.g., R.A. Sheldon and H. van Bekkum, Fine Chemicals through Heterogeneous Catalysis, Ed:, Wiley p 277).
